RICEVILLE UTILITY DISTRICT is one of 153 community water systems in Tennessee in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 3,843 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1980 and 1995, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1995.
Of the 3, 2 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Total Coliform Rules and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
